I believe that Movei got an advantage during the game and Movei could win by Kg3 instead of Kg1 I believe that Thebaron simply underestimated passed pawns when it did not agree with that opinion. I am not sure if Kg1 is losing because the passed pawns are still dangerous. Movei's last chance for a swindle was 54.g6 that set the following trap: [D]k7/1p6/p2pp3/P3p1P1/1P2Pn1P/3P2B1/r1r5/5Q1K w - - 0 54 54.g6 Nh5 55.Qg1 Nxg3+?(Kb8 is winning) 56.Qxg3 and the white pawns give white a draw or a win dependent on the decisions of the opponent. I think that the position after Qg1 is a good test position [D]k7/1p6/p2pp1P1/P3p2n/1P2P2P/3P2B1/r1r5/6QK b - - 0 55 am Nxg3+ Uri
